4 oz lean ham, cut into bite size pieces or shredded
15 oz frozen, chopped spinach, thawed
½ cup chicken broth, reduced sodium
6 oz Greek yogurt, “cream cheese”
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tbsp  white wine, optional
1 ½ oz lemon juice
½ tsp salt
5 oz reduced fat  Swiss cheese


​

1. Preheat oven to 350.  In a 13 x 9 baking dish layer chicken, spinach and ham.
2. In a blender, mix chicken broth, “cream cheese”, ground mustard, wine, lemon juice and salt.
3. Pour sauce over baking dish.
4. Place the Swiss cheese over top of baking dish.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Serves 6

Note: My family LOVED this recipe and I felt great because I knew it was healthy.  But, the creamy sauce was not creamy after baking.  Flavorful, but not creamy.  Next time, I may try this in a skillet, to see if I can get it creamier. 
 

Worthy! Greek Yogurt “Cream Cheese”, 0 SP

Start with plain, fat-free, Greek yogurt, make as much as you like. J
Line a small colander or fine mesh strainer with a coffee filter or several layers of cheese cloth or a large square cut from a cotton t-shirt.
Put the yogurt in the liner of colander or strainer. Cover with another coffee filter.
Set the colander inside of a bigger bowl, being sure that the bottom will not touch the whey that will drain from the yogurt. 
Let drain in the refrigerator for 12-48 hours.  The longer it drains, the thicker it will be.  Have fun, this is amazing in recipes!
